Thursday of the First Week in Lent

As a face see its reflection in the water, so does one person’s heart reflect another’s feelings. Proverbs 27:19

There is something redemptive about water. By a cool mountain brook we consider our own reflection and cast our pain and concerns away. Lent is like dipping ourselves in a cool mountain brook where we wash away our bad habits, let them float away, and emerge refreshed.

Proverbs reminds us that we are not alone in needing renewal and experiencing pain. When someone pours out their feelings of pain or need for help our heart needs to reflect true empathy. Our concerns for others can be for them a mountain brook bringing refreshment.
